The Jewish tradition does not deny that God's spirit moves men, but Jews do not accept the idea of a trinitarian God with a separate "person" that is the Holy Spirit. The Jewish tradition views God as an indivisible unity, although it admits that there is no way for people to grasp the totality of that unity, and that we frequently view God in projection, God as giver of knowledge, God as King, God as Wisdom, etc. The primary problem with trinitarianism is not the Holy Spirit -- that can be seen as such a projection. The problem is the doctrine of the incarnation. Belief in a god incarnate is seen, in Jewish thought, as being just as idolatrous as belief that some chunk of wood, clay or metal is a god.
